The Caribbean is referred to as "the Indies" and inhabitants from India as "East Indians"; therefore, to elminate confusion the Caribbean is also referred to as "the West Indies"

My mom paid for my 2nd car, I want to say I paid for some of it as well. I paid for my first. She paid for my fifth car but I paid her back.

After I was 17 I pretty much paid for everything else. I think I stayed with her a month or 2 before I moved to PA.I paid for all my schooling and I think my dad gave me like $50 my first semester AFTER someone stole all my books. Then they bought me a laptop a few years later, but I don't think it was for me 'originally'. I think they just had an extra one.

Was that for me? If so, Haiti on my father's side, Guadeloupe on my mother's side.

Yes. Thanks. Sometimes I feel so ignorant. I wouldn't have guessed that.
